Indian cricketers and their salaries

13. Mohammad Shami – 50 lakhs:

Injuries might have put his career on the back foot but Mohammad Shami still continues to be one of the potent fast bowlers for India. He last played for India in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. Shami also has an IPL contract with the Delhi Daredevils franchise.

14. Suresh Raina – 50 lakhs:

Suresh Raina has experienced a slump of form recently which has affected his paycheck now. Last year, he was among the list of Grade A players, but this year has been demoted to Grade B. Though this would not affect his annual earnings big time since he also has a few big endorsements like Boost, Pepsi and CEAT along with the big paycheque he draws from CSK for the IPL.

15. Amit Mishra – 25 lakhs:

Amit Mishra is currently the top choice leggie for India. He regained the selectors confidence and made a comeback into the ODI squad in 2013. It earned him a Grade C contract last year. BCCI retained Mishra and has awarded a Grade C contract this year. Apart from the central contract, Mishra plays for Delhi Daredevils and also earns from sponsorship deals.
